    And Mars will be more expensive than the moon, with, really, a lot less to offer.
    I imagine we will have a permanent presence there before 2100.

    So far, in my opinion, it's just a dream and not at all realistic. To say otherwise is to ignore the long term toll that gravity will take on the human body plus the risk of deadly solar flares. There are so many high-risk issues that if one doesn't do them in, another will.
    They will figure it out. They may need totally contained habitats at first.

    Yes, necessarily.

    It's easier to mine to asteroids.

    If you want to be pragmatic about such things.

    And the flight to Mars is a six-month tour in a possible high-radiation zone.

    If gravity is the thing, the place is the moon...which has PRECISELY the same minerals (those that weren't part of a biologic process) as the surface of the Earth itself....and half the gravity of Mars.

    Anti-gravity...you're not a serious participant.

    The launch site does matter, and neither the Earth nor Mars is the place. The moon is....with four times the solar energy density than Mars.

    They will ALWAYS need enclosed habitats on Mars.

    Air pressure is never going to rise.


    How well did the wealth from the bold American colonists flow down to the Brits?


    Why would Martian colonists "share"?

    Has any professional ever done a psychological profile of the types of people who are willing to take a one way trip to Mars? What must their lives be like on earth that they are so willing to die? And what does it say about those who are so eager to see them go? What's in it for them? I wonder what it is about their psychological profile that makes them crave this kind of excitement.

    That won’t change gravity. The first wave will never return. Their skeletal structures would break. The answer is likely robotics cyborg merging. The human body can not withstand those gravitational fields for sustained periods of time. Muscular would atrophy. Morphology would alter. Eventually, an entirely different species.


    or not...

    Yes, living off earth will cause mutations and evolutionary changes.

    I agree with your statement that "The first wave will never return." But as far as them evolving into an entirely different species, I agree with your last comment...."or not..."

    And here's my reasoning for that: In order for them to evolve into an entirely different species, they would have to live long enough to produce viable offspring, and there's no way that's ever going to happen on Mars. Humans have evolved very slowly over tens of thousands of years to be suited for living conditions on earth, not Mars.

    They will reproduce on Mars. Their kids won't be suited for earth. That's OK. Humans will spread throughout the solar system.

    That's just your dream, not reality.
